Political parties serve many purposes.
They gather people around issues for which they share a general consensus. From that, they hone their position to create their party's political platform. Their platform is where they stand on the issues, like abortion, federal spending, defense, etc.
Political parties are also the vehicle for raising money for the candidates. Members of the same political party can campaign for one another, so this strengthens the party when they win and get control of the House or Senate.
